All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain comes tumblin' down.
- The Garden Song
A few days ago we planted some seeds. 
Carefully. Lightly. We filled our boxes.
We cared for the seeds and hoped for the best, and even offered a prayer or two on their behalf (something to the effect of please help us to not completely mess this up).
And after a few days, several waterings, and a fantastic deluge...
Our garden is sprouting!I was in such a good mood after seeing these little radishes poking through the soil that I had to take a few minutes to enjoy some of the other things around me!
Even the bees were somewhat enchanting (which is saying A LOT for me and my little phobia) as I looked over all the good things growing around me ...
I am so blessed to be surrounded by such beauty.

i love the new look of your blog!
I'm impressed your kids will work in the garden. I've got hours of fighting my son this summer trying to create a work ethic. I long for the good ol' days when he wanted to be a helper. I can't pay him to be one now:) Embrace it while you've got it!
